My Business

I founded Sterling Learn Services in 2008 to provide educational solutions to rural schools in the lower parts of Meru County and Tharaka . Our office is in Mitunguu Market 14 km from Nkubu Township. We Supply instructional material to schools, offer printing and binding services to schools and members of public. Sterling, as my business is Popularly known also offers computer training to young people.
Being a teacher I, then my choice of business is obvious. The business is in a rented premise which accounts for the highest cost of doing business. We however make profits which are reinvested in the growing business. It is our goal to make Sterling Learn Services a leading provider of Education Solutions in the near future. We have plans to position ourselves well in the market to help i building capacities of Primary Schools as they embark on use of ICT both in classrooms and as a management tool. This we will do at a fee to boost our income. God willing Sterling Learn Services will play its part in helping the children of this country access opportunities that we did not have during our childhood through mentorship programmes .
